It was eight thirty and the place was buzzing with the anticipation of a major murder investigation. Mia was waiting for Mann when he got back. ‘We’ve had a confirmation, it’s Max Kosmos. The gold ring on his finger is a matching wedding ring to his wife’s. The wife seemed bitter, angry.’ ‘Is she on her way to Hong Kong?’ ‘No. She says she’s staying with the children. You attended the autopsy?’ ‘Yep and it’s thrown up something. The weapon used to torture Max Kosmos is the same one used to mutilate Rajini.’ ‘Tom Sheng’s not going to like that. He’d love to tell us to fuck off. Well, professionally anyway. He’s not the best at sharing cases. I’d rather you interview Michelle. You know her. Sheng’s heavy handed.’ Mann nodded. ‘You better go and do it now. He’s busy getting the incident room set up so now’s your chance. You have half an hour.’ Michelle was sat at the table when Mann punched in the door code and entered the interview room. Ng followed.
